Grace Douglas, lead scientist for the Advanced Food Technology da NASA, commented on the mission. According to her, the so-called analogue test will help to test the solutions needed to live on the red planet.
For the test, a Martian module was built with the name of Mars Dune Alpha, which is 158 m² and is completely 3D printed. Challenges that volunteers will face include limited resources, equipment failures and communication delays. Many tasks will be part of the crew's daily routine, such as spacewalk simulations, scientific research, robot control and virtual reality experiments. Among other things, the psychological effect of the group's isolation from other humans will be one of the key analyses—given that the planet will be the furthest any human has ever been from Earth.
Applications for the program are open until September 17 at website NASA. To get started, you must be a US citizen, 30 to 35 years of age, proficient in English.
